Ad skip for supporting listeners

Currently podcast producers make somewhere around $25/thousand plays for an ad. That's two and a half whole pennies per play, which is challenging not to spend all in one place.

What if instead of listening to ads, a supporting listener paid $1/month for a weekly episode to have ads automatically skipped? This would quintuple the publisher's income from that listener.
